In Disney's Enchanted, Susan Sarandon plays the duplicitous 'Queen Narissa' and transforms into this 'Hag' character in order to tempt the heroine, 'Giselle', with a traditional poisoned apple.

This costume is a real homage to the old woman (herself the disguised Queen) from Disney classic, Snow White, who tried the same tactics with a deadly apple.

Costume Designer Mona May based this 'live-action' costume on the cloak the disguised Narissa wears in the film's animated opening sequence, when the wicked witch pushes Giselle into a magic portal which transports her to the human world of New York City.
